Today is Disability Independence Day—marking 35 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law.

At NAMI, we know that mental health is part of disability inclusion. True accessibility means creating spaces—especially workplaces—where people feel safe, supported, and free from stigma.

Looking for information on navigating mental health concerns at work for yourself or someone you manage?

Check out our StigmaFree Workplace guides:
stigmafree.nami.org/stigmafree-guides

Let’s break down barriers—not just in buildings, but in minds and attitudes.
